Squire travels

Donna Bacarella (holding a recent issue of The Rockford Squire) visits the Auckland Zoo in New Zealand with her son Jon Bacarella, his wife Shelley and their children, Talor and Layla.

Aukland is a small island in the South Pacific, about a three-hour flight from Sydney, Australia. It is well-known for being the location of the filming of “The Lord of the Rings” as well as being the homeland of the “Flight of the Conchords,” a New Zealand comedy duo featuring Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement.
